Max Woiski Jr.

Max Woiski Jr. was a celebrated Surinamese-Dutch singer, guitarist, and bandleader known for bringing Caribbean and Latin American rhythms to the Dutch music scene in the 1960s and 1970s. Born into a musical family—his father, Max Woiski Sr., was also a well-known performer—Woiski Jr. carved out his own niche blending jazz, Latin, and Surinamese influences with pop sensibilities. His performances at Amsterdam's Tropicana Club became legendary, and he played a key role in popularizing Caribbean music in the Netherlands.

Woiski Jr. is perhaps best known for hits like "Je Bent Nog Niet Gelukkig Met Een Mooie Vrouw," a Dutch adaptation of the calypso classic "If You Wanna Be Happy." His sense of humor, infectious rhythms, and charismatic stage presence earned him a broad fan base. Throughout his career, he kept his cultural roots at the forefront of his music while also embracing international styles, making him a true pioneer of world music in the Dutch pop landscape.
